At a guess, you want something like 

bysort country (year) : gen gdp50 = gdp[1] 

where I assume that the first year for every panel is 1950. For more complicated variations on this problem, see

I want to generate an initial gdp value such as below:

Country year   gdp50
1       1950   200
1       1960   200
1       1970   200
2       1950   300
2       1960   300
2       1970   300
.
.
.
20   1970       400

Can anyone help me with the code that generate the initial gdp for all country and year?
